I took a picture of the ISBN within the Amazon app

Within a minute this is what I saw on the “Remembers” portion of the app, which was the actual item I was looking at.

When I got home and signed onto Amazon in my normal web browser, I got the info there as well. Obviously, they want me to make a purchase! But this is great, if you see something and want to find it and don’t have the stock number info.

1. Show how much memory is being used and how much is available.
2. Show running processes.
3. And most importantly, allows you to free up memory that was used by certain apps, but not returned to available memory. Some well known apps do this, such as the phone, email, Safari browser and others. Notice on the first image below that it shows Safari as running, even though it isn’t, since the memory scanner is running. This may save you a reboot if you have used some graphic intensive apps or games. ALSO! A very popular and similar program entitled “Free Memory” was removed from the App Store at the request of Apple. I guess they don’t want you to know that iPhone isn’t perfect, or they don’t want you to know the processes that are running. Why? So you might want to get this quick, before it disappears.

To begin simply launch the Google Mobile App speak into your phone, it will then launch Google without having to navigate to google.com.

For example; on a recent road trip to Oregon I wanted to located a specific pizza parlor in Medford. I used the app to speak the name of the pizza parlor and city, then clicked on the google maps link that came up and quickly routed the path from where we were at the time while driving. It was just too easy and saved me time of not having to try and type in the search term on the screen.

Here’s a brief outline of features;

1. Quick access to Google via speaking into the mic on the phone.
2. Search by voice. Speak your queries instead of typing them.
3. You Location is already known. Don’t have to specify your current location when searching for nearby businesses because it knows your geo location already.
4. Google Suggest. Search for suggested queries and businesses that appear as you type.
5. Search history. Quickly search again for queries you recently performed.

The only caveat to using this app is that your friends/ family members must have it installed on their iPhone and activated/turned on to permit others to locate you.

Location Service with Push Notification – HeyWAY iPhone App

Well what is the easiest way to get these posts automatically on you iPhone?  The answer of course is to install a RSS Reader app on the phone and then subscribe to the RSS feed for this blog!

For a RSS Reader I chose Free RSS Reader.  Just do a search on the App store for this exact title and you will see a free and purchase version.   I chose the free one of course since after all it is named FREE RSS READER.  Following is a screen capture of the App search within iPhone.

Once you have the RSS reader, there are two pertinent RSS feeds:

1. the blog posts are at http://iphones.blogs.sowingcircle.org/feed/
2. the comments to the posts are at: http://iphones.blogs.sowingcircle.org/comments/feed/.
